023- Cheating to win!

After reading the book, Ivan felt bad, he didn't know which unfortunate soul was so unlucky that Lockhart caught sight of him while he was telling his own experience...

Looking at the detailed description it was obvious that that the adventurer had been in close contact with the trolls.

Ivan closed the book and put it back in its place. Even if he knew the weakness of a troll, he still had to make a lot of preparations.

For example, making some potions for bait, or learning some more powerful magic, in short, his academic grade points were still not enough...

The only way to obtain grade points is to answer the professors' questions in each class, in addition to the usual points given at the end of each class.

But Ivan soon discovered that it was difficult being a model student, even answering questions had a lot of competition.

Regardless of the course, as long as the professor asked a question, Hermione will always raise her hand high before anyone else and then speak the answer quickly and accurately with the professor's permission.

After Ivan joined her in trying to answer questions, the class became a battlefield between the two of them, and two arms were always raised high in each class.

Hermione seemed to be having fun too, so she worked harder to study, often staying with Ivan in the library until the door was closed and the lights were turned off before returning to the common room.

Ivan simply wanted to cry, he just wanted to earn some grade points, but because of Hermione, his gains were directly reduced by more than half.

Ivan couldn't bear it, so he had to use some "special" methods.

...

"We will focus next on Disarming charm and Impediment Jinx, and they will also be one of the most frequently used spells in the future..."

In the charms class, Professor Flitwick, the short half-goblin, was standing on a stool, teaching the first years, and from time to time he flicked his wand to demonstrate the spell to everyone.

After more than ten years of teaching the charms class, Professor Flitwick's teaching experience was very rich, and it will not be long before he got everyone excited.

"Okay, does anyone know what the disarming spell is? What's the effect?" Professor Flitwick asked while looking at the students in the class.

Hermione took the lead in raising her hand, and at the same time turned her head and glanced at Ivan. Hermione was only concerned about the only threatening competitor in the class.

However, Ivan stood up directly in Hermione's surprised eyes and said to Professor Flitwick.

"The incantation for the disarming spell is Expelliarmus. The effect is to deprive the opponent's wand after hitting the opponent. At the same time, the disarming spell also has a certain impact force. The knockback effect depends on the mastery level of the spell and the difference between the magic power of both parties related."

Professor Flitwick, who was standing on his stool, was about to ask Hermione a moment ago, but he didn't expect that Ivan would suddenly stand up and answer the question. He was a little dazed for a second.

"Good point, two points to Gryffindor."

Professor Flitwick reacted quickly, but Ivan's behavior of rushing to answer without permission left a bad impression, so Professor Flitwick reminded him again.

"In addition, Mr. Halls, I think it's better if you raise your hand before answering the question next time."

"Okay, Professor..." Ivan glanced at the rewards in the system and sat down satisfied.

Professor Flitwick nodded at Ivan's well-behaved attitude, thinking that Ivan might just love learning, so he cleared his throat and continued.

"Next is another question, Obstacle Curse..."

Before Professor Flitwick could finish speaking, Ivan stood up again shamelessly.

"The incantation for the obstacle spell is Impedimenta. The effect is to create a magical barrier for blocking a single direction attack. The advantage is that it can be stacked one upon each other, which has a stronger defensive effect. The disadvantage is that it cannot defend against attacks from other directions.

"Am I right? Professor..." Ivan smiled obediently at Professor Flitwick.

Hermione's eyes widened as she looked blankly at Ivan. This time he answered before she even had time to raise her hand.

"Yes." Professor Flitwick spit out the word difficultly and waved for Ivan to sit down. This time he didn't even give points.

Ivan didn't care either. The system's bonus rules only need to be approved by the teaching professor, and the score depends on the difficulty of the problem.

"Let's move on to the next question..." Professor Flitwick cleared his throat, glanced over Ivan, and quickly turned to speak. "Forget it, I'll teach this lesson myself."

...

After using this method to answer in class, Ivan's rate of gaining grade points suddenly became a lot faster. After all, although Hermione was smart, but even she won't embarrass herself like Ivan.

It's just that every time she saw Ivan's pretty little face answering the questions, and at first, she reminded Ivan that it's wrong to answer in class and that they should have a fair competition.

Of course, Ivan shook his head resolutely. What kind of joke, can the matter of rushing to answer questions called robbing? Anyway, it did not violate the Hogwarts school rules.

It is estimated that when Hogwarts' founders were formulating the school rules, they did not expect that there would be anyone who would "love" learning so much!

Ivan felt that even if they knew it, they would definitely be very happy in their grave...

Hermione was dumbfounded by Ivan, especially since Ivan gave an excuse that because he lost five points in flying lessons, now out of guilt, he wants to make up for it a hundred times. There was nothing more to say.

While Ivan was happy, the professors of various subjects had headaches. More importantly, they didn't know how to deal with Ivan.

They have seen students making trouble in their classes and they can deal with that, but it was the first time that someone rushed to answer questions in classes... In addition, Ivan was correct and accurate every time he answered, and he admitted his mistakes sincerely after answering, which caused professors of various subjects to be a little embarrassed to scold Ivan.

After having tasted the euphoria of rapidly filling grade points, Ivan then decided to extend his ambitions to the potions class, intending to gradually figure out Professor Snape's bottom line.

Snape, who had always favored Slytherin and was hostile to Gryffindor, was not so easy to figure out. He personally gave Ivan a warning when the class was over. If he saw Ivan next time, he would stand up and answer questions without consent. He deducted all the house points Ivan earned in the week!

But as soon as Snape's walked away, the system prompt sounded as expected.

[Ding, the potions course is over

This comprehensive class evaluation: satisfactory (excellent)

Appraiser: Severus Snape

Reward: academic points*10]

"He's a Tsundere..." Ivan couldn't help but spit out, and then he touched his chin thoughtfully.
